note 78830 added to function.mysqli-fetch-field-direct

Hello, 1) I am using "mysqli_fetch_field_direct" function to retrieve field information but for some reason all ENUM fields show up as CHAR (254) instead of 247. Does anyone knows why? 2) For the same fields as above I would like to retrieve the ENUM list of each field so I can recreate it in a SELECT box. How can I do this?
